This is a supervised self study course - where the PhD supervisor is doing the supervision. The course has very limited resources for development. The course seems to be well received both by supervisors and students.

PhD supervisors of students having passed the course have confirmed that learning outcome has been achieved.

Given the lack of resources for course improvements, students wanting to do this course should be transfered to other similar courses having a better resource situation.

Acquire a member of staff together with the necessary funding such as to identify topics and content for common topics relevant for students working in diverse scientific fields.  Survey and learn from similar courses at other international Universities.  Task would be suitable for a PostDoc @10% workload



Tiltak

Acquire staff support for Cross-topic common seminars

Ingen tiltak er gjennomført siden siste emnerapport.Emnet gjennomføres som et veiledet selvstudium etter retningslinjer gitt av emneansvarlig.Studentens PhD veileder er ansvarlig for studentens veiledning i emnet.

Gjennomføringen av emnet ser ut til å ha fungert godt. Studentene har oppnådd emnets læreingsutbytte. Veileder har kvitert for at dette er oppnådd.

Emneansvarlig har ikke mulighet for å videreutvikle emnet innenfor dagens ressurssituasjon.

Emnet er veiledet selvstudium der PhD hovedveileder veileder studenten i emnet.Emnet benytter ikke referansegruppe men har løpende kontakt med studenter i hovedsak via email og fanger på denne måten opp og håndterer forhold som dukker opp fortløpende.

The course will teach the candidate critical thinking in the context of academic research.  The course contributes towards the following learning outcomes:KnowledgeStrong understanding of academic theory and the preparation of high-quality research. An understanding of what processes are used, the threats that is facing these processes and techniques for mitigating these threats. Understanding the significance of identifying and assessing the assumptions and premises of research works, potential limitations and problems. Ability to select appropriate research methods and sampling techniques for the candidate's research field. When completed the course, the candidate has acquired an enhanced knowledge to evaluate the appropriateness and usefulness of various perspectives, methods and processes in research and in academic and/or artistic projects.SkillsHaving completed the course, the candidate has acquired enhanced skills to analyse and handle complex academic questions and challenge established knowledge and practise within their subject area. In particular, the candidate will be able to identify and assess the significance of underlying assumptions made in other research works. This skill will be of particular use when analyzing to which extent a certain research result is applicable and relevant for a given real life setting.Ability to support and participate in Industrial and Academic research projects at a high international level. Understanding underlying assumptions in a project will provide the candidate with skills for identifying issues that will be critical to the success of a project. The skills acquired will go some way towards making the candidate able to identify and understand the underlying assumption present, the candidate is in a better position to assess if these assumptions have ethical implications that need to be highlighted or investigated further.General competenceCan participate in debates within their subject area in national and international forums, and in particular, identify when questionable arguments are used - e.g. because an argument is based on assumptions that are not valid in the given context.Can evaluate the need for renewal, and can initiate and engage in groundbreaking thinking and innovation. In particular, through the identification of underlying assumptions that no longer are valid, propose alternative sets of assumptions more appropriate in the current environment on which new research can be built.

<ul><li>Project work</li><li>Seminars</li><li>Self study</li></ul>The course is designed such as to provide knowledge, skills and general competences that will be directly usable for candidates in their research work. The candidates will present several 'case papers' that are to be evaluated. The candidate and supervisor are required to propose 'case papers' from their area of research. The evaluation of papers will be discussed in seminars. The candidate will provide a written report giving a summary of the paper analyzed, including a critical analysis. Candidates that produce outstanding reports/particularly interesting or surprising findings will be encouraged and offered guidance to turn their report into a scholarly paper. The course seminars will benefit from a multi-disciplinary perspective by including candidates and supervisors from different disciplines/areas whenever possible. Mandatory tasks: None The course is given every spring semester, next time Spring 2019, assuming enough students register for the course. If not enough students register for the course, it will be given as a self study "ledet selvstudium".

Each candidate must hand in his/her own individual report. Seminars and reports must document that the candidate is able to apply the knowledge, skills and competences in their research field. Each candidate is to give 3 presentations, each presenting a paper and its evaluation.

Det var for få studenter i emnet til at det er mulig å lage en meningsfull emnerapport.
